Hyperzorch: *follows in circles*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *giggles*
Hyperzorch: Soran: Wait a sec....where am I going....
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Your... following... erm... the leader!
Hyperzorch: Soran: Who made you leader?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Hmph! I'm fine on my own. I don't need to follow anyone. *wanders off*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *cries* Don't leave me!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *stops*....*looks around*.....*glances back at Rai*......'Crud...where was I going again...'
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *cries* You were folllowing me!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *glances skeptically at Rai, walking back to her*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *looks up at Soran with her bright tear filled eyes* You left me!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *messes up Rai's hair and sits down idly next to her, indifferent look on his face* "I'm here now, aren't I?"
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *tackles Soran giggling*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *Falls over and smacks his head on a rock* Agh, Quit it!"
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *hugs Soran tightly* why?
Hyperzorch: Soran: *Plucks Rai off andholds her at arm's length curiously with a wary frown*
Hyperzorch: Soran: I don't get what you find so interesting about me.
Hyperzorch: Soran: If it were my dashing good looks, you wouldn't mess up my hair all the time.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Your just funny! I love you Soran! *reaches for him*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *hesitantly lets her back down onto his knee, still confused*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *hugs* Soran! will you marry me?! *giggles*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *matter-of-fact voice* If I married you, I'd first have to wait 20 years for you to come of age, and then I'd have to watch you grow old and die. Not to mention I'd always have bad hair days.
Hyperzorch: Soran: You also have to consider the physical strain of performing a life-threatening rescue mission 8 or 9 times a year.
Hyperzorch: Soran: Besides, I....*blushes and falls silent*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *confused look* I what?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: you don't like me!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *blinks* You don't just marry everyone you like."
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Why not... people do it to Mizuki all the time....
Hyperzorch: Soran: *frowns* Well, people like Mizuki in...a different way.
Hyperzorch: Soran: Plus she's probably prone to attracting sadistic sex fiends.
Hyperzorch: Soran: I read once that its genetic.
Hyperzorch: Soran: *eyes widen unreadably* Inward thought: Crap...what does that make me?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Does that mean your a sex fiend... what's sex... oh well... must mean you like someone a lot. Cause you like Mizuki
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: I want someone to like me!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *flustered* Of course not.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Yes you do! You hugged her!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *pales slightly* You're imagining things.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: No I'm not!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *catches himself gazing toward Mizuki's window, shakes head* No, it's your imagination.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *giggles* Fine, keep saying that. But, I know its a lie! You like her! You like her!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *frowns and stares at Mizuki's window with a mixture of annoyance and worry.*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: See!
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Your staring!
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Your weird
Hyperzorch: Soran: No...
Hyperzorch: Soran: *inward thought* that was a weak comeback...
Hyperzorch: *Soran turns his back on the house and faces the other way stubbornly*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: I'm going to go find a boyfriend! *giggles*
Hyperzorch: Soran: "No boys until you're married."
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Why?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Because I said so.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: but, why?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Boys have cooties.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: eww!!! *giggles*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *hops away from Soran*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: You have cooties!
Hyperzorch: Soran: I'm not some boy.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Then your a girl?
Hyperzorch: Soran: My cooties were eaten by demons.
Hyperzorch: Soran: I'm a man.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Did they get sick? When they ate your cooties? Do girls have cooties?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Girls have cooties too.
Hyperzorch: Soran: But you see Rai, erm, when a guy and a girl like one another very very much....
Hyperzorch: Soran: Their cooties eat each other.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *tiltes head* Oh no!!! Do they get sick?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Uh....the cooties explode
Hyperzorch: Soran: And don't come back *begins to look pleased with himself
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Do you die? When the cooties explode?
Hyperzorch: Soran: No.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Then why do you have cooties?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Some people like it
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: why?
Emora Lynn Deen: I don't want cooties. They sound mean.
Hyperzorch: Soran: But when the cooties eat each other both people become vulnerable...so the best tactic is to never get that close to someone.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: But, I don't want cooties! I need to go find someone so they explode! I don't want them! They are weird!
Hyperzorch: Soran: They're invisible.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: But I still got them!
Hyperzorch: Soran: You probably won't even notice them till you're 14
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Why then?
Hyperzorch: Soran: Uh, they'll start brainwashing you into romantic nonsense so that they can eat some boy's cooties.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: I don't like cooties... they sound evil.
Hyperzorch: Soran: *blank stare*
Hyperzorch: Soran: THen, I'll purify you of your cooties.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: How? You don't have cooties...
Hyperzorch: SOran: Exactly. I'm the cootieslayer.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Really? wow....
Hyperzorch: Soran: "Shourai" *blades form along his arms*
Hyperzorch: Soran: Just hold very, very still
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *screams* I don't know...
Hyperzorch: Soran: It's fine, I can assure you with full confidence that I've performed this operation....oh....at least one time.
Hyperzorch: Soran: And that the person made it. Inward thought: Eventually.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *looks petrified* Are you going to cut them out?!
Hyperzorch: Soran: No, I'm going to intimidate them
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: How?
Hyperzorch: Cooties are wussy
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *giggles*
Hyperzorch: *Pulls back blade and hurls it toward Rai's head, then stops short a millimeter from her hair*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *turns head slowly to the right as though following something along the ground*
Hyperzorch: Soran: They ran away.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *screams and faints*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *Grins*
Hyperzorch: Soran: Some say 'sleeping little girl"
Hyperzorch: Soran: I say "cooties mine"
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *wakes up and blinks* What did you say?
Hyperzorch: Soran: I said, you're doing fine.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: No you didn't.... *narrows eyes*
Hyperzorch: Soran: Sure I did.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *shrugges and curls up in Soran's lap*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *rests hand on Rai's head protectively and stares at Mizuki's window again*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Thank you for getting rid of the evil cooties! Now I can have a boy friend!
Emora Lynn Deen:
Hyperzorch: Soran: I forgot to tell you
Hyperzorch: If you don't have cooties to cancel out the boy's cooties, his cooties will eat you alive.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *screams* No! you have to kill his cooties too!
Hyperzorch: Soran: Sure, I will. *inward thought* Maybe I'll just follow through on the strike...
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *hugs Soran* Yay! you are a good cootislayer!
Hyperzorch: *mizuki walks out of the house, notices them, and walks over to them* What are you two talking about?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Soran killed my cooties!
Hyperzorch: Mizuki: *blinks in confusion, and looks to Soran with narrowed eyes* What?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: *giggles*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *Stares blankly at Mizuki in a lovesick daze*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: And he said he would kill my boyfriends cooties to so I can have one!
Hyperzorch: Mizuki: Soran?
Hyperzorch: Soran: *blinks* What?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: He said that if I liked a boy and he liked me our cooties would go together and explode!
Hyperzorch: Mizuki: I thought we agreed no boys for Rai until she's married?
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: No, that was when I had cooties! I don't anymore, so no explosions!
Hyperzorch: Soran: *Makes the "I'm screwed, aren't I?" face*
Hyperzorch: Mizuki: *Makes the "hell yes you are" face and grabs him by the collar, dragging him to the house"
Hyperzorch: Soran: *frowns at Rai as he drags* I blame you.
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Wait! What's wrong! *stares in confusion*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *smirks* "She's gonna sic her cooties on me" *winks*
Hyperzorch: Soran: *receives a smack as he's dragged into the house and the door slams behind him*
Emora Lynn Deen: Rai: Oh no! You have to get rid of them!
